Hi,
I am currently running some GPRC MD with membrane. After a lot of trial
I now have a nice 25 ns run with an agonist. But the final structure is
too close the starting and I know it is far from what the biology
describes.
I would like to know if there is options that I can add to my md.mdp
file to make the MD "explores some other area".
There is no magic .mdp option to make sampling better, and you can not
necessarily ever trust the results of just one single simulation. There are
several options to enhance sampling:
1. Simulated annealing
2. Replica-exchange MD
3. Additional simulations with different starting velocities
With #2, bilayers can be quite problematic. A recent paper from Max Berkowitz's
group in JPCB has a nice protocol for REMD with a membrane.
